• Reviewed Opera's message on image-fit and image-position:
• Resolved: Replaced elements are always clipped to the content box.
• Resolved: Unqualified references to a box in the image-fit/position definitions should be "content box".
• Resolved: Whether image-fit and image-position inherit should match the inheritance behavior of SVG's preserveAspectRatio attribute.
• Resolved: The proposal for a new auto value to image-fit is not accepted.
• Briefly discussed animation fill modes and timing functions; further discussion deferred until later.

• Discussed CSS2.1 test suite status.
• Discussed Yves' comment about background shorthand syntax for background-size. fantasai to write up proposal for using as instead of / to differentiate background-size from background position in the shorthand.
• Discussed new API for computedStyle values. People seem happy in general with the direction Anne is going in his drafts.
• Discussed standardizing serialization of computedStyle values. Consensus is that having a spec for serialization is a good idea, although converging existing behavior to spec may be difficult and there is no consensus on whether we should push for converging existing implementations (due to backwards-compat concerns; this has the potential to break lots of scripts).
• Reviewed some new information about scientific notation in CSS.
• Started (but did not finish) discussion on image-fit issues recently raised on www-style by the SVG WG.

• CSS2.1 testing:
  • Reftest documentation added to testing wiki
  • Build scripts still need a rehaul
• Next F2F March 29-31. Agenda
• Resolved: Richard Ishida will be editor of CSS Ruby spec.
• Resolved: CSSWG has no problem with deprecating DOMActivate
• Discussed scientific notation again, because apparently SVG already uses it. Concerns include:
  • Confusion about where exactly SVG allows scientific notation and in which versions this is allowed.
  • Allowing it in CSS would require changing the core grammar, which is supposed to remain stable.
  • Not allowing it in CSS in general but allowing it in SVG-based CSS would require inconsistent parsing rules.
  • Allowing it would create a new syntax for all CSS properties that accept numbers and lengths that will be accepted by newer implementations but rejected by older implementations. This has backwards-compat and browser-hack implications.
  • Whether overall usability is increased or decreased by introducing scientific notation in CSS is debatable.
  No resolution was reached at this time.

• Discussed border-radius color transition issue. Seem to have (tentative) consensus that the gradient be recommended as currently, but that the location of the color stops also be defined.

• CSS2.1 Test Suite Alpha 1 being published today.
• Resolved: Move forward with joint CSS/SVG Task Force: arrange joint afternoon meeting at next F2F if possible, set up telecons, work on charter, etc.
• Resolved: Move August F2F to 23-25.
• Discussed px vs. pt thread. Proposal is to fix 96px per inch. Whether inches fixed to reality or pixels fixed to screen res / viewing distance may vary (print would match real inches, screens align with viewing distance and/or screen res).
